Stage 3, Entering Colorado

I snapped the first picture as we were entering Colorado; I love the state's slogan "Welcome to Colorful Colorado." The sign was right, next day we rode "The Million Dollar Highway" from Durango to Silverton. The road was filled with Aspen trees that were changing color due to the fall; it was an amazing site to see.
The second picture was taken during one of our picnics, close to the Million Dollar Highway.

Bryce Point

This picture was taken at Bryce Point, what you see behind is Bryce Canyon in Utah. Spectacular views from Bryce Point; you can see all the Hoodoos (these are tall thin, spires of rock that are formed all throughout the canyon) in the background. Utah exceeded our expectations. Fernando is wearing the yellow jacket, I'm in the middle, and Jorge is on the right.

Our America Tour Sweaters

Here's a pic of our America Tour sweaters. We're going to put patches of each state we visit on the sweaters, hopefully we get to 50!

Here are some more pics from Stage 3's trip (late September). This is in Utah. Awesome ridge in the back.
